Strawberry Sauce

Yummerz...and it can do so many things...

Ingredients:

1 pint (which is 2 C or 32 oz.) strawberries

1/3 C white sugar

1 t almond or vanilla extract

1. Wash strawberries and remove stems.

2. Combine berries, sugar, and extract in medium saucepan over medium heat. Using a wooden spoon, constantly stir/break up the strawberries. Allow to simmer for five minutes as you continue to stir and break up the berries.

3. Once it's been five minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool enough to transfer mixture to blender. Pulse to desired consistency.

I didn't put this batch in the blender because I was making it for use in strawberry shortcake, and my husband likes the chunks. But other times, when I use the blender to truly make it a sauce, I like to use it for strawberry lemonade/limeade. See the source for some other usage ideas and for a picture of it with a thinner consistency.
